Northwell Health Launches Campaign To Transform Health Care N
orthwell Health has publically launched its first system-wide, comprehensive fundraising campaign to propel innovations to advance health care across the globe. The public launch of Outpacing the Impossible: the Northwell Campaign, an ambitious $1 billion, seven-year effort to support Northwell’s promise to the people it serves, was held at Northwell’s Center for Advanced Medicine in Lake Success recently. The event brought together more than 600 of the organization’s highest-level benefactors who support initiatives across the health system’s footprint. This comprehensive campaign supports capital projects, improves hospitals and clinical programs, and advances research and funding an endowment for teaching and research initiatives. A significant portion of the campaign will also be allocated to the development of Northwell’s care locations in Manhattan. Northwell Health is comprised of 23 hospitals and more than 665 outpatient care locations throughout the New York metropolitan area and beyond. Outpacing the Impossible includes all funds given by individual donors, corporations and foundations. Donors to Northwell have given nearly $500 million since the campaign’s inception on Jan. 1, 2016. Along with—and as part of the public campaign— Northwell has launched its first enterprisewide employee giving program, which enables employees among all levels throughout the organization to participate. More than 5,000 Northwell employees—including 99 percent of Northwell’s leadership—have already given over $7 million to support projects and programs across the health system.
Pioneering solutions: Northwell’s depth and breadth, agility and nimbleness enhances its ability to have an immediate impact across the region and beyond.

Simple steps such as hand hygiene are crucial to helping ward off the flu, but strengthening your immune system really starts with choosing to follow a healthy lifestyle year-round. Exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, and getting adequate sleep are vital for promoting immunity. In terms of diet, there are several vitamins and minerals that are known to help support the immune system. Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and zinc are commonly known for their immune-boosting properties. A well-balanced diet should

Although kefir is a dairy product, it is fermented which changes the nutritional properties and makes it particularly beneficial for a healthy gut. Kefir is also high in protein and calcium. Try incorporating kefir into your diet regularly for healthy probiotics to benefit your gut microbiota. Consuming probiotics is important for replenishing

on-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common chronic liver disease in the United States affecting 60100 million Americans. Most people are diagnosed when an abdominal ultrasound performed for an unrelated reason reports fatty liver. Fatty liver disease is a spectrum which ranges from just fat, to fat and inflammation, to fat and fibrosis, to cirrhosis and all its complications. Only about 2-4 percent of people with fatty liver develop significant liver disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with diabetes and being overweight. In addition, about 7-10 percent of people with fatty liver do not have diabetes and are not overweight. These people have what is called “lean fatty liver” and is more likely to progress to advanced liver disease than fatty liver associated with diabetes and/or obesity. With so many people

With so many people having fatty liver disease, the real question is how is it treated.
having fatty liver disease, the real question is how is it treated. Currently, there are no medications approved to treat this condition. Treatment is centered around diet, exercise and weight loss. Of these, the most important is diet leading to weight loss. Some simple strategies for dieting include reducing total intake of dietary fat, avoiding concentrated sugars from sugar sweetened beverages, pastries, cookies, cakes and other sweets, reading food labels to avoid products containing high fructose corn syrup and being mindful of hidden sugar sources in breads, cereals, yogurts, salad dressing and condiments. It is also a good idea to limit refined white carbohydrates from such items as white bread, pastas and rice and replace them with whole grain sources. Eating more non-starch vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, kale
and spinach and choosing low glycemic fruits such as berries and melons is healthy alternative to those products listed above. Alcohol, unless taken in small quantities, should be avoided. There is a tremendous amount of clinical research currently underway evaluating medications to treat fatty liver. Most of these therapies are targeting patients with either bridging fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis. In other words, patients with advanced disease. Different classes of therapies, all oral, such as FXR agonists, PPAR agonists, ASK1 inhibitors, FGF19 agonists and CCR2/5 antagonists are in development. It is likely that the first approved medication for non-alcoholic fatty liver will be an FXR agonist. Once approved, all these new therapies will need to be taken in combination with the lifestyle changes of diet and exercise. I believe that not any

one of these new medications will be effective in all people and that combinations of new therapies will be required. It is also highly likely that these treatments will be long term and expensive. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a worldwide epidemic and the most common chronic liver disease in the United States. Weight reduction remains the primary treatment for this condition and loss of 7-10 % of body weight has been shown to dramatically improve underlying liver inflammation and fibrosis, even in patients with cirrhosis. Significant research to develop new medications is ongoing and we should see several new products approved in the next 2-5 years. It is important to emphasize that these medications will not be a substitute for healthy eating and exercising. The magic weight loss pill is just not a reality.

Your Child Doesn’t ‘Just Have A Cold’ BY CHRISTINA JOHNS
‘‘
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
Your child is sick. It starts with a cough and runny nose and quickly develops into something resembling a common cold, but it’s more than that. So what is it? A common viral infection of the lungs in babies and toddlers called bronchiolitis. While bronchitis and bronchiolitis sound similar, they are not the same. Both are infections of the lungs, but bronchiolitis goes deep into the lungs causing inflammation of the small airways (bronchioles), which for small children can result in a serious cough, wheezing, trouble breathing and can be scary stuff for parents. What information do parents need to know about bronchiolitis to keep their children healthy? First, bronchiolitis is caused by a variety of viruses, but is most commonly attributed to Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Bronchiolitis can often be treated from home because it is caused by a virus it does not respond to antibiotics.
Dr. Christina Johns (RSV). It can also be caused by the flu or the common cold. Bronchiolitis can often be treated from home because it is caused by a virus it does not respond to antibiotics. Help make your child feel better by maintaining adequate
hydration by offering clear liquids in small amounts frequently throughout the day, use a cool-mist vaporizer in his/her room, administer saline drops and bulb syringe suction the nose to relieve nasal congestion, and
’’
give fever reducer medicine to bring down any fevers and ease discomfort. Decrease the chances of getting bronchiolitis the same way you would protect your child from getting a cold: frequent hand washing, sanitizing of toys and areas where your child plays, keeping your child home from daycare (if possible), and getting your child (six months or older) a flu shot can all help. For some children,
bronchiolitis may require more attention. If your child develops a cold and has a bluish-gray color to the face, lips or nails, or is flaring the nostrils or retracting the muscles between the ribs be sure to see an emergency pediatrician immediately. This is particularly important for children who were born prematurely, are less than three months old, are exposed to secondhand smoke or have pulmonary defects or other chronic diseases. Dr. Christina Johns is a practicing pediatric emergency physician and the Senior Medical Advisor for PM Pediatrics, the largest provider of specialized urgent care in the nation with more than 30 locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Texas, Virginia and opening soon in California.
